Nina Hyde (née Solomon; 1932 – May 4, 1990) was an American fashion editor. Following a stint for Women's Wear Daily, she moved to Washington, D.C. in 1961 and established the fashion page for The Washington Daily News, which became the "Hyde & Chic" column. She joined The Washington Post in 1972, where she remained until her death in 1990. For her contributions to fashion journalism, Hyde was honored with the Eugenia Sheppard Award and was named a Chevalier des Artes et Lettres.
After her death from breast cancer, the Nina Hyde Center for Breast Cancer Research at Georgetown University Hospital was established by Ralph Lauren and sixteen other designers. The fashion industry and The Washington Post continue to fundraise in memory of Hyde.
